Use the table below to rank the redox centers in order to produce a favorable electron flow.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In redox reactions, electrons flow from the species with a more negative reduction potential (i.e. stronger reducing agent) to the species with a more positive reduction potential (i.e. stronger oxidizing agent). From the given table, we can see that Q has the most positive reduction potential (+0.10 V) and Z has the most negative reduction potential (-1.14 V). Therefore, the electron flow would be most favorable if we start with Q and end with Z, which is achieved by option B: Q, F, C, D, Z.
